There was nothing leading up to this episode that portrayed her as a scientist-type.
A lot of pointless character development in that episode...that seemed forced.
They could have just had her in her house, drinking a bottle of wine and opening a folder with the scientific notes in it...maybe a scrapbook of her accomplishments and an Eagen scholarship award or something....nope, got huffing chemicals on her dead mother's bed and a family cult member.
I was worried when Milchick approached the other black corporate lady about race/paintings...I was like..."here we go...got to meet those woke hollywood quotas." Luckily it stopped there...it was out of character as he's a company man and would never talk about it to that particular lady...she is even more devoted to the company than he is.
I also didnt like Dylan moving the break room picture for no apparent reason...and magically there is a note stuffed behind it. At least make it crooked or something to give him reason to move it..I was like "come on...make this believable".
I didnt like Helena showing up at the diner alone either...that would never happen. She's the heir apparent to the entire company. She's not going to be impromptu interfacing with Mark's outie...ever. I mean asking him if he wants to meet her dad..after talking for 3 minutes? Like Mark's outtie isnt going to extremely suspicious to why the owner's daughter is stalking him?
It's still had some awesome dystopian moments so far...that reminded me of season one but is struggling to make the plot movements appear natural. The first season just worked...

Maybe you shouldn't watch if this is that hard for you to follow and understand.
